Faced with the violence that has marked the city, the priority of the City of Grenoble is to support the affected residents and shopkeepers. Municipal services, including the Municipal Police and Urban Cleanliness, are mobilized for the cleanup of the city center.
The municipality offers its support to the shopkeepers, whose activity contributes to Grenoble's vitality. The human and economic consequences of the damage are significant, and the City and the Metropolis are committed to helping them resume their activities.
Meetings were held with shopkeepers and residents to discuss their sadness and anger. A wave of solidarity has emerged, with offers of help from other municipalities in the Metropolis.
“"Condemning the violence is essential. Refusing generalizations is just as important. Nothing can justify these acts, which must be dealt with with the necessary firmness. But nothing should lead us to confuse the perpetrators of this damage with the tens of thousands of people who have peacefully expressed their aspiration for greater social justice."
Local political forces are called upon to act with responsibility and discernment. It is crucial to condemn the violence while continuing to listen to legitimate demands. Grenoble must now rebuild and move forward in a spirit of responsibility and solidarity.
